After the flash floods of Kedarnath, the People in Centre team supported the District Administration, Chamoli and the Karnaprayag Municipality by preparing GIS-based maps for undertaking disaster preparedness and development planning in the town area. As hill towns face a scarcity of buildable and safe land, this exercise prepared a land use plan, sensitive zone plan and slope analysis of the town area, which can form the base for any planning initiative. The report and maps are available on request.
